Also living in NYC you have to be prepared for anything.....That is why women are always carring those big bag, not only are they fashionable but at a price the bad backs and sore shoulders. Women have to carry the umbrella, the tooth brush you extra pair of shoes, deoderant, women products, an extra top, or sweater, money, ID, mints, keys, makeup, etc... We have to make ourselves look good from morning to night, since its the city that never sleeps. We have to be prepared to jump from one thing to the next, and straight after work w/o traveling home due to the travel times as I have state in my previous comment that it takes up to 1 hr just to get home and another one just to go back downtown to party. So pussies we are not.
